Hello,

Someone told me that if we buy a new stadium we can´t continue using our name 'Chelsea'. That is because Gus Mears didn't want that the stadium would be sold to project developers. Is this the truth or bullsh*t?

Regards,

Think it depends where it is. If we move way out beyond where we currently are, we'd have to change the name. Otherwise we could move to Manchester and still be named after a London constituency. So I think we have to remain within a certain number of miles of Chelsea. Though i could be wrong.

The giving up of the name is due to the terms of the agreement with Chelsea Pitch Owners. Ken Bates, when there was talk of us moving before said, 'When they talk about Abramovich moving the club to East London or the new Wembley or whatever, you say Great, off you go, rename it Neasden United, give us our pitch back, we'll sign tomorrow and we'll name it Chelsea Football Club Limited, just as Wimbledon have.'
